There's a reason RCBS make as a small casting pot! Use a propane stove and the small pot and you'll crank out some really good ingots fast. Smaller size pot helps to spot contaminated lead and...

Beware ingots that contain zinc if you're using a bottom flow lead pot. You can drip some muriatic acid on the lead and if it has a reaction, it most likely contains zinc.
Sounds interesting I'll have to get some and load up some rounds immediately.

If the 380 cases, you want to "resize" came from your gun, you don't need to resize them but would need to flare the end to accept a new bullet.

They're your dies and ultimately your barrel that will see additional wear for badly tarnished cases. I would at least sonic clean them prior to resizing and setting a bullet.

Picked up a brand-new Lyman case trimmer at the gun show for 20 bucks less pilot set. Couldn't pass it up and have since ordered the Lyman pilot set online for ten bucks. I'll keep thinking about...
I concur with Hodgdon TiteGroup. It works with all my 9mm cast bullet sizes. Burns clean and a good over all powder.

Math correction?
80 pounds multiplied by 7000 grains a pound equals : 560,000 grains

Total 560,000 grains weight divided by 3.5 grains a case equals : 160,000...

#3 9mm brass great value! Especially since yellow brass is selling for double that price. Looking online I see that once fired brass de-primed and polished is going for average 6 cents each. Average...
